Malawi's anti-corruption agency has arrested the head of the country's power generating company over allegations of graft, officials said on Thursday.
A spokesperson for the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) said Kandi Padambo, chief executive officer of the electricity supply commission of Malawi (Escom), was arrested late Wednesday in the commercial capital Blantyre and would face charges of "misuse of public office and failure to disclose interest."
The ACB's Bright Chimatiro said Padambo, who is in police custody, was expected to be formally charged at a magistrate's court Thursday, on charges that he misused his office when awarding contracts at the giant parastatal.
